The traditional veneration for political lunacy and splendid inanities that make Britain unique are celebrated here by former MP Neil Hamilton. This is a look at some of Britain's most eccentric politicians from the 4th Earl Russell who told the Lords that Jimmy Carter and Mr Brezhnev were the same person and called for the police and the army to be abolished; to Colonel AD Wintle's 1945 manifesto that declared 'Guy Fawkes was the last man to enter Parliament with good intentions. You need another like me to carry on his good intentions' . this hilarious book illustrates why Britain is the world's leading political insane asylum.
